By James Reynolds Disclaimer VMware ESXi By James Reynolds Disclaimer • I'm new to this stuff • I'm still new to the jargon • I'm pretty inexperienced • This presentation barely scratches the surface • I'm assuming you've never done this before • I'm focusing on Mac OS and VMware • This is non-critical servers Agenda • Why • vSphere, ESXi, and VMware History • Hardware support and licensing • Installing and configuring ESXi • Datastores and creating VM's • Backup Why? Prepare for changes to macOS Server - January 2018 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208312 "In fall 2018, Apple will stop bundling open source services such as Calendar Server, Contacts Server, the Mail Server, DNS, DHCP, VPN Server, and Websites with macOS Server. Customers can get these same services directly from open- source providers." In other words, the open source server software that Apple distributes is really old, and it's really easy to get it on your own, so Apple isn't going to distribute it anymore. The writing has been on the wall since 2011 • Xserve, 2002-2011 • Mac OS X Server OS, 1999-2011 • OS X Server App, 2011-2018? Advantages • Run 10.5 - 10.14 • Run old apps • Run any virtually any OS, Haiku OS (OpenBeOS), React OS (Win XP clone) • Apple says to use open source software to replace OS X Server • This software is easy on Linux • All of the advantages of VMs • Snapshots, consolidated hardware, easier backups, easier to move to new computers, etc Remote Only • This isn't a replacement for dual booting • This is not Fusion, VirtualBox, Parallels, Wine, etc • Remote only • This is a replacement for servers in closets that are accessed remotely • None of these VM's can be interacted with by plugging in a keyboard, mouse, and display into the computer Mac, Linux, Windows ESXi - The 4th OS? That rules them all? Jargon • There are lots of VMware flash cards with 100's of terms • I've been doing IT for almost 20 years and I haven't heard of half of these terms • I'll avoid most of them in this presentation What is vSphere? • Umbrella term for the package that includes • ESXi • vCenter Server • vCenter Client (moving to a web client) • VMFS vCenter Server and Client • vCenter Server • Windows installer • Linux appliance (VCSA) • vCenter Client • "vSphere Web Client (FLEX)" moving to "vSphere Client (HTML)" • Centralized Management of a fleet of hosts What is ESXi? • ESXi = Elastic Sky X (integrated) • Type 1 hypervisor, "bare metal" • VMware Fusion and Workstation are type 2 hypervisors What is ESXi? • ESX (not available anymore) • Red Hat • After booting control passed to VMware What is ESXi? • ESXi • Tiny footprint compared to ESX • Can be placed on 16 GB flash media (takes 4 GB) • 10.3 was 1.5 GB, 10.4 was 3 GB, 10.6 was 5 GB • ESXi doesn't need to be rebooted or patched that often • ESXi boots much faster than ESX did What is ESXi? • "ESXi is not Unix" • Similar but different enough to not qualify as "Unix" • Replaced Linux kernel with "POSIX-like" VMkernel • Has Linux-compatible storage and networking drivers • BusyBox, other opensource software (firewall, ssh) • Software Freedom Conservancy is suing VMware for GPL violations VMware's Architecture VMware History • 1999 - VMware Workstation released • 2001 - VMware ESX Server • 2004 - EMC acquires VMware • 2007 - Mac OS X 10.5 Server allows virtualization • 2007 - VMware Fusion for Mac OS • 2008 - ESX free version VMware History • 2010 - VMware vSphere 4.1 (ESXi released) • 2011 - vSphere 5.0 • 2012 - vSphere 5.1 • 2013 - vSphere 5.5 • 2014 - vSAN • 2015 - vSphere 6.0 VMware History • 2016 - Dell acquires EMC • 800 US Workstation & Fusion developers fired • 2016 - vSphere 6.5 • August 2018 - 15th VMworld conference held in Las Vegas, 23,000+ attendees • 2018 - vSphere 6.7 Dell • In 2016 Dell bought EMC for $67b to become Dell EMC • Largest tech merger & largest private tech company • VMware is the crown jewel, but is public & independent • Dell EMC owns 80% (or something) of VMware • In January 2018 rumor was VMware would buy Dell • But in July 2018 Dell bought DVMT, went "sort of" public, and gained more control of VMware Dell PowerEdge • Dell's server line • #1 server at 19% - 20% marketshare • HPE closely behind (by decimals) • Starting from the $1,200's (upper limit? $100,000's?...) Mac OS VM's on Dell? • Apple's license does not allow it • VMware will only run Mac OS VM's on Apple hardware Mac OS VM's on Dell on Macs? • What if Mac OS VM's are *literally* (instead of virtually) on Apple hardware? Officially Supported Mac Hardware • Xserve3,1 (Early 2009) - ESXi 5.0 MacPro5,1 (2010-2012) - ESXi 6.0 • MacPro5,1 6.0 • MacPro6,1 (Late 2013, the trash can) - ESXi 6.7 • 1 Ivy Bridge CPU; 4, 6, 8 or 12 Cores • 64 GB (128 GB via 3rd party) Max RAM • $3000 - $7000 retail MacPro6,1 6.7 Unsupported Hardware • ESXi will not run at all on iMacs or laptops • Mac Mini unofficial support • They are not in the Hardware Compatibility Guide (HCL) • Not all versions of ESXi work • New Mac Mini's will lack support • It will take a year or so to add support in ESXi Mac Mini's & ESXi 6.7 • Macmini6,2 (Late 2012) • Dual Core i5 2.5 GHz or Quad Core i7 2.3 or 2.6 GHz • Max 16 GB RAM (upgradable) • Macmini7,1 (Late 2014, the 4 year old current model) • Dual Core i5 2.6 or 2.8 GHz or Core i7 3 GHz • 8 GB or 16 GB RAM (not-upgradable) Macmini7,1 Mac Mini Pros & Cons • Pros • CHEAP • Cons • Limited to internal drives (more on this later) • Internal hard drives are a pain to swap (mod the case?) • ESXi support is not guaranteed (not all versions work) • New Mac Mini soon? How long before it is supported? What I'm using • Macmini6,2 (Late 2012) • Quad Core i7 2.6 GHz • Max 16 GB RAM • 1 TB SSD • I don't run more than 4 Mac OS VM's at the same time • Most VM's are test images VMware Licensing • Confusing • USHE has an agreement until 12/28/2021 • Email OSL to get a license • vSphere licensing is per CPU (not core) • vCenter licensing is per vCenter server instance • I'm pretty sure nobody here needs more than 1 • vSAN not covered by campus agreement vSphere Licensing • ESXi Free ("you should never use for free") • No vCenter, max 2 CPUs, max 8 vCPUs, no support • Essentials or Essentials Plus, 3 hosts max • Standard (part of campus agreement) • Enterprise Plus (part of campus agreement) • Operations Management Enterprise Plus (vRealize Operations) • Not part of the campus agreement vSphere Standard • Data Protection • High Availability • vMotion • Storage API's for backup vSphere Enterprise Plus • DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) • vSphere Distributed Switch • Host Profiles and Auto Deploy • Storage and Network I/O Control • VM encryption • vGPU Installing ESXi • Create an account on my.vmware.com and download "VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi ISO) image (Includes VMware Tools)" • Use UNetbootin and burn that image to a USB flash disk • https://unetbootin.github.io • (Format flash as Fat32/MBR) • Boot the computer from USB disk and finish installation Embedded vs Installable • ESXi has 7 partitions • ESXi Installable • All 7 partitions on the boot drive (only 2 are writable) • ESXi Embedded • USB flash, SD card, PXE boot • 5 read-only partitions (unless there's a core dump) • Uses a RAM disk or your 1st datastore for logs Darwin Tools Image • Go to my.vmware.com, "View & Download Products" • Find and download darwin.iso* (3 files) • Copy them to /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages • symlink to one of the partitions packages/ vmtoolsRepo/vmtools Direct Console UI • Use to configure networking, passwords, low-level debug • Can't manage VM's ESXi Host Client • Point a web browser at your host's IP • This is not the vSphere web client Configuring ESXi • Autostart • License • Services (ntpd, snmpd, ssh, syslog, X.Org server, etc) • Users & Groups • Datastores Datastores • Where the VM images are stored • Datastores can be networked or local Networked Datastores • Storage Area Network (SAN) • Network block level access • Fibre Channel or iSCSI • Network Attached Storage (NAS) • Network file level access • NFS • Not CIFS (SMB) Local Storage (LS) • Internal drives • Directly Attached Storage (DAS) • SATA or SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) • Shared SAS, (Dell VRTX) • "Hyperconverged" • E.g. datacore.com starts at ~$750/TB Mac Hardware & Datastores • Internal drives: Yes • Mac Mini and the data doubler • MacPro5,1 has 4 bays!
